Tried to renew my driver's license while H1B extension is still being processed. I have letter from my employer stating my legal status is good for 240 days and receipt showing extension application submitted. Still got denied at the DMV. They said I need the new I 797. Anyone else experienced this? I am based in NJ and looking for advice to navigate this situation to get my DL renewed.

You can only renew your DL until the dates of your current 797

Call the general counsel of the NJ motor vehicle license department. Some of them will help.

PA allows you to renew with receipt only. Collect the policy from all the states that allow renewal with receipt and email the GM

They need to see the original copy of I-797

Renewed mine last week in NJ, they only accept original I797 Approval notice (basically they need an I94 end date - they match the new license date with it)

I got my DL renewed two weeks ago in Florida with the receipt only.

Wait for your original i797. Even then you might run into the same problem and they might ask for an updated i94. Honestly, depends on the person at the window. Just going to a different DMV might help.

Letter from employer is not considered in that 5 point identification. They need the original approved I797.

How do you get an original i797? The scan copy from my company doesn’t work?

I didn’t even know that was a thing tbh. Guess I’ll go ask my license is expired end of month too and I’m on renewal

If your renewal was approved then is just i94 printout enough?
